Risk is extremely low... nearly zero. Previous car had legally-required orange reflectors removed, owned it 10 years without any issue. Worst case scenario, I replace the orange ones back for a 'pass', then put the clear ones back. Now that I know how to do it, it's a 5 minute job.

I understand -- my "previously owned" 2014 Limited came with dark film all around (I don't know the percent transmission, though as an optical professional, I guess I should), including a strip across the top of the windshield. I like it alot, but it's supposedly illegal here, and I have known people to fail annual inspection until it was removed, but my car has passed without a wrinkle (teehee) and no ossifer of the law has cared to notice. Go figure . . .

(My markers are clear with orange LEDs inside)

It looks like it still belongs to Tom. Can you remove the chrome legend staring at you every minute you're in the car?

Beg yer pardon, my ears are 70 years old and they work fine without bleeding. It's you young squirts who already have blood trickling out of your "wherevers" due to your self-abuse.

I have the same "problem". It think it has to do with the age of the driver and the fact that no one pays attention to silver cars. Stealth mode, just how I like it!

What are you running for tires? I found the same thing, my Primacies were about 50% worn (evenly) and once I swapped to Pilot Sport AS3+ tires the wandering disappeared.

All in good fun, friend . . .

By the way, I also have the DD Always On module, and sure enough it's always on. But, the boomerangs seem weak to me, like 50% or so. Is it just that daylight makes them so, and they seem brighter at night, or what? I know the SUVs bearing down on me at night with their Halloween jack-o-lantern LEDs sure look much brighter than mine.

Got any insight you'd like to impart?

David.

They're actually anodized red aluminum pieces.
